Man I cant beleive this year wouldnt produce a great hatch. With the great weather we had this spring and lack of big blows for the most part, I figured it was gonna be a great hatch.

I agree with you. This should have been a great year for the spawn. It sounds like the same BS we heard last year, you know, the hatch was supposed to be terrible yet bait netters said they were netting tons of young walleye and we were all catching lots of those small walleye last year. It seems to me that they could come up with a better way to estimate the hatch.

I heard the spawn was much more spread out this year giving gobies a better chance to eat the eggs of the spawners. Unlike other years when the spawn is more condensed and hatch around the same time giving the gobies less time to eat the eggs before hatching at around the same time.

Same here...heard that direct from a fisheries biologist. Just one more of many influencing factors
